Macau World Cup April 5 schedule revealed! Two events to crown champions, with three Chinese stars aiming for gold

On April 5, 2026, the Macau Table Tennis World Cup reaches its final day, with champions, runners-up, and joint bronze medalists set to be decided. Out of 11 Chinese players, only three Olympic stars remain in the semifinals: Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu. They will compete in semifinals during the day and potentially return for the finals in the evening.

China’s men’s squad saw early exits from Chen Yuanyu, Liang Jingkun, and Zhou Qihao, leaving Wang Chuqin as the sole survivor. In the women’s draw, all six advanced from the group stage, but eliminations followed in the knockout rounds.

Quarterfinal highlights included Wang Chuqin’s 4-3 comeback over Darko Jorgic and Hugo Calderano’s dominant 4-0 win. On the women’s side, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu both survived tough battles, while Shin Yubin and Nina Mittelham advanced strongly.

Several Chinese players suffered heavy defeats, but the remaining trio showed resilience with dramatic comebacks and high-pressure wins.

Semifinal schedule:

• 11:00 Sun Yingsha vs Mittelham
• 11:45 Wang Manyu vs Shin Yubin
• 12:30 Lin Yun-Ju vs Matsushima
• 13:15 Wang Chuqin vs Calderano
• 19:30 Women’s final
• 20:15 Men’s final

The semifinals present tough challenges. Mittelham’s defensive style has already troubled Chinese players, while Shin Yubin enters in top form. Wang Manyu’s physical condition could be decisive after a grueling quarterfinal.

Wang Chuqin faces Calderano again—a rematch of last year’s World Cup semifinal. Although Wang has had recent success against him, Calderano’s current form makes this a high-stakes battle.

With everything on the line, the final day promises intense competition and unpredictable outcomes.
